Thank you, seeit_snapit. This tiger was riled up because of the closeness of his keeper, but he clearly would have liked a shot at me too.
Thank you, Mel ( Rider Blues ). Yes, a great face - even if his eyes are warning me to back off.
Very much appreciated.

Wow, what a dangerous look! I don't envy the keeper having to deal with this tiger. This is a fantastic shot.
You are my winner!

Thank you, Andrea Paganotti, BooWho2, and 8zil, for comments and visits.
Thank you, andie.smith. I love it when big wildcats give me the eye. Thank you for the invite too.
Thank you, Elizabeth Wold. I think he was forgetting here his primary target was his zookeeper.
Thank you, libbylou1300. I had to get close in on their faces most of the time, because that was the only way to obliterate the fence - with my zoom fully extended.
Thank you, sevgi. I think they must like the snow, sevgi. Thank you also for the invite.
Thank you, stelj. These cats seemed jealous of whichever one was closest to their keeper - not because of their affection - but because each thought the other might be the one to get to attack her. Thank you also for the invite.
Thank you, Sondela_nz. What was worse - he could see right into mine. It wasn't a pretty sight on either side. Thank you for the invite too.
Very much appreciated.

Now there's where the expression 'if looks could kill" fit. Where was the keeper and what were they doing to make these tigers so angry? I think they need Terney to give them an attitude adjustment lol.

Thank you, ~Terrie K ~. The keeper, who seemed more familiar with them than they did with her, was standing just at their fence and sticking her camera right through it, protected about 3 feet away by 2 little electric wires. As for this look, I've never had any animal show me a more ominous pair of eyes. Very much appreciated.

Wonderful shot!!
bye bye オモイデ (is on hiatus) (52 months ago | reply)
I love how it looks like tigers have make-up on, like for example eye liner. This shot would be perfect as an eye liner ad. ;D
Tigers = "True beauty", literally.
Nice angle! I wonder how many times I've said that now...?! Heheh... But it's true though.

Oh I love how you can barely see those pupils and their warning!

Whoa, I think I was just hypnotized by those eyes! Honestly John, I don't think you can take a bad shot! Really beautiful!
conwest_john (52 months ago | reply)
Thank you, GiddeeUp, exvivo and Tambako the Jaguar, for comments and visits.
Thank you, staceydaisy2. I love it when these wildcats show their temper.
Thank you, bye bye. About the eye liner: who is it they're getting all made up for? And thank you for the note: I started fooling around with the white balance on this and had a bad time getting it back the way it was - which like clouds, sometimes, have less blue in them than you think.
Thank you, LJGrove. What I'm always amazed by is just how beady the eyes on some of these big cats are.
Thank you, zensmom1. I've said it before, but it's true: as long as they're not sleeping, these cats tend to make it easy.
Very much appreciated.

Thank you, tammyjq41. This is just about as close as I ever want to get to a pair of eyes with this kind of look in them. Thank you for the invite too. Very much appreciated.
